Not to be confused with ⁱ.
Translingual
Symbol
ꜞ
- (Africanist notation) upstep; equivalent to IPA ⟨ꜛ⟩.
- (IPA, rare, superscript only) superscript extIPA ⟨¡⟩ for a weak, fleeting or epenthetic sublaminal percussive.
Usage notes
The low ⟨ꜟ⟩ may be used for greater visual distinction from the IPA stress mark ⟨ˈ⟩, or when superscript i is used for diphthongs (e.g. ⟨aⁱ⟩, ⟨oⁱ⟩). These can be especially confused in a sans-serif font. However, in some fonts low ⟨ꜟ⟩ is only slightly lower than raised ⟨ꜞ⟩, rather than subscript, and so may be less distinct from those other characters.
